it immediately called a divan, and told them that the King
of Sweden. . . [1 col.] His Majesty was brought immediately
to the Palace of the Pashs, and on the 4th he was seized,
with a violent feaver, which continued the whole day, they
let him blood, and took away so much that he grew extremely
weak, and was not able to go from hence the day following,
as was intended. But on the 6th, notwithstanding his
illness, he was carried away in a Turkish waggon drawn with

on both sides, with timbals & chalumeaux, and about one
